Appendix D – Firewall STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header. DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have.
Example 1: Filter Name Protocol Policy Source IP Address Source Subnet Mask Source Port Dest. IP Address Dest. Subnet Mask Dest. Port Selected WAN interface : : : : : : : : : : In_Filter1 TCP Allow 210.168.219.45 255.255.0.0 80 NA NA NA br0 This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 with a source port of 80, irrespective of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.
DAYTIME PARENTAL CONTROL This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through the VG-8050, as per chosen days of the week and the chosen times. Example: User Name Browser's MAC Address Days of the Week Start Blocking Time End Blocking Time : : : : : FilterJohn 00:25:46:78:63:21 Mon, Wed, Fri 14:00 18:00 With this rule, a LAN device with MAC Address of 00:25:46:78:63:21 will have no access to the WAN on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 2pm to 6pm.

Appendix F - Connection Setup Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process. 1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (ATM, PTM or Ethernet). 2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface. The following sections describe each stage in turn. F1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces Every layer2 interface operates in one of three modes: Default, VLAN Mux or MSC. A short introduction to each of these three modes is included below for reference.
F1.1 Ethernet WAN Interface Some models of the VG-8050 support a single Ethernet WAN interface over the ETH WAN port. Follow these procedures to configure an Ethernet WAN interface. NOTE: To add WAN connections to one interface type, you must delete existing connections from the other interface type using the remove button. STEP 1: Go to Advanced Setup Layer2 Interface ETH Interface. This table is provided here for ease of reference.
To add a WAN connection go to G2 ~ WAN Connections.
F2 ~ WAN Connections In Default Mode, the VG-8050 supports one WAN connection for each interface, up to a maximum of 8 connections. VLAN Mux and MSC support up to 16 connections. To setup a WAN connection follow these instructions. STEP 1: Go to the Advanced Setup WAN Service screen. STEP 2: Click Add to create a WAN connection. The following screen will display. STEP 3: Choose a layer 2 interface from the drop-down box and click Next. The WAN Service Configuration screen will display as shown below.
NOTE: The WAN services shown here are those supported by the layer 2 interface you selected in the previous step. If you wish to change your selection click the Back button and select a different layer 2 interface. STEP 4: For VLAN Mux Connections only, you must enter Priority & VLAN ID tags. STEP 5: You will now follow the instructions specific to the WAN service type you wish to establish. This list should help you locate the correct procedure: (1) For G2.1 PPP over ETHERNET (PPPoE), go to page 109.
F2.1 PPP over ETHERNET (PPPoE) STEP 1: Select the PPP over Ethernet radio button and click Next. You can also enable IPv6 by ticking the checkbox at the bottom of this screen. STEP 2: On the next screen, enter the PPP settings as provided by your ISP. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
The settings shown above are described below. PPP SETTINGS The PPP Username, PPP password and the PPPoE Service Name entries are dependent on the particular requirements of the ISP. The user name can be a maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in length. For Authentication Method, choose from AUTO, PAP, CHAP, and MSCHAP. ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This option becomes available when NAT is enabled.
DIAL ON DEMAND The VG-8050 can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of time by selecting the Dial on demand checkbox . You must also enter an inactivity timeout period in the range of 1 to 4320 minutes. PPP IP EXTENSION The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it. PPP IP Extension does the following: Allows only one PC on the LAN. Disables NAT and Firewall.
BRIDGE PPPOE FRAMES BETWEEN WAN AND LOCAL PORTS (This option is hidden when PPP IP Extension is enabled) When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it. The VG-8050 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices.
